    Facial swelling, from pimple?
    I started getting what I call an "undergrounder" pimple about 3-4 days ago. (located on the side of my nose) It became very big, hard and painful but never had a head on it so yesterday I tried applying warm compresses to it and then some triple anitbiotic ointment. This morning when I woke up, the whole side of my face was swollen, especially under my eye and cheek. I am assuming that it is from this "pimple", but I have never had one do this. Could I have an infection (I feel just fine otherwise) It doesn't look infected just red at the site of the pimple. Any advise would sure be appreciated!! :)

    Go to the doctor and have this looked at immediately. I'm not saying it is, but you have to rule out a staph infection.

    Please have this taken care of... AND DON'T TRY TO POP IT.
